Ammar: Ah, a traveler under a dark moon. You have come to a poisoned place — why?
Class: I have been driving out demons in this land, where I can. And you?
Ammar: The Sanctified Earth Monastery blooms with rot, and the shadow of an unfamiliar god looms over it. So it is that I Investigate, at the will of the Patriarchs.
Does this truth make you weak with fear? If not, accompany me. Perhaps we will lure out the evil here and crush it. Perhaps we will have an uneventful night.
Ammar: (begins a ritual) Fickle gods, hear the voice of Ammar — show me yourself, show me your truth.

Ammar: Look there. A little shadow of the god. This one will illuminate much.

Ammar: Great instability has taken root. More than this place could stand, I think.

Ammar: Let us see what we can learn. Chaos can be a boon if you do not hide from it.
(communes with the shadow) Inconstant spirit! In your meandering, show us the way.

Empowered by his god, Dravec bathes Oza in fire, but she's able to counter it

Master Vitalya: (stands up) Reckless Dravec. A novice has but one focus. He does not call to whichever god may suit his needs.

Ammar: I do not recognize this one he calls a "god of retribution". It is erratic to contact even the gods of chaos so... suddenly.
Class: Do you plan to keep searching?
Ammar: The Patriarchs must know what transpired here. And... this shadow of the god intrigues me. I would not ignore it and risk its wrath.
Come. It is taking clearer form. Let us follow.

Ammar: This Dravec. He is strong in his stance. But inside him is fear.
His opponent, she is unyielding. I cannot think she causes the rot here.
May the Thousand and One return them in truer form with each death.

Ammar: The rot and upheaval is greater still. Be ready. communes with the shadow

Master Vitalya: Has obsession... brought you so low? Your brother knew the risks...
Dravec: I'll ask you one last time. Where is the stone?
Master Vitalya: It belongs... safe and sound... in Zavain. It is our charge to protect... not yours to use.
Dravec: A novice has but one focus. A master has nothing.

Ammar: I see now. God of Retribution... and Damnation. Its influence grows strong in this place.
Class: What will you tell the Patriarchs?
Ammar: That this monastery is made wicked by the hands of a god and a man. Were it closer to the walled city, this would not happen.
(focuses on the shadow) It is time to cast out the shadows.

Ammar: How it falls. I will make no bargains with Dravec's god. If we are lucky, none will again.
Class: I hope you're right. There hasn't been a lot of luck to go around here.
Ammar: A toast: to the blood spilled, and the lives bought with it.
Yes. You see it now. Peril is to be harnessed.
